Kisama Heritage Village

About this place

The cultural heart of Nagaland tourism—an open heritage complex designed to showcase traditional Naga house styles, craft spaces, and performance grounds. Visitors experience Nagaland “in one place”: tribal architecture, food, music, dance, textiles, and storytelling. Even outside festival time, Kisama feels like a living cultural museum where travelers can understand the diversity of Naga communities through visual design and curated spaces.

History & highlights

Kisama is closely tied to the Hornbill Festival—created as a major venue to host the state’s flagship cultural celebration. The “KISAMA” name is derived from two local names (Kigwema + Phesama) and “MA” meaning village, reflecting how the site was established on the land associated with these areas and commissioned by the state.
